Shed of the Year

[Richard]

Hi

Anyone seen the first two episodes?

Must say the Category winners so far wouldn't have been my choice but everyone to their own.

Great programme for eccentrics and those with a vision though.

I saw the first one live on my friends TV, yet to catch up with the second one. They say it's down to a vote by the general public, but I haven't seen anywhere to vote. I suppose you have to go on the web site to do that. I don't think the boat shed should have won, it was very simple. Some of the entries are bordering on small bungalows, I don't think they should be included as sheds. Is there a minimum and maximum size I wonder. My simple door and pallet shed wouldn't have stood a chance.

Yes, the vote is online. I have enjoyed watching the 2 so far but as always, I wonder how some of them qualify as sheds! Having seen them online, there are some corkers coming up!

For me, a Shed is made of Wood !!

I was pleased about the winner last year though. That was a proper Shed

I loved last year's winner! What vision he had and how well it worked out

Watched the programme tonight, and was pleased to see Hill Billy Dave in one of the categories. We've seen his outfit when we've rallied with our classic caravan at Ripon. He didn't win though, and we were surprised at the actual winner.

Same here spreckers, I thought, as the boat shed won two weeks ago, he may do so.

I respected all the Budget ones though, more frugally minded and inspirational to what you can achieve without five figures and more numbers.

I liked the one that the bloke built out of fire wood for his wife; that was a true gem of a construction. I also liked the pirate bar...

[Spreckly]

We were amazed at the winner! Ah well, there is always next year.

[Richard]

Surprised me as well spreckers.
Although not altogether my taste, the Owl House was better.

Can't beat the 2014 winner though!

I thought the same as spoony. Liked the American design but he didn't build it himself.
I also liked the one on the Trailer simply on the fact it was built from offcuts!

Really nice touch to give that couple a Life Achievement though, completely talented man and seem such a happy couple.

Yes, Richard, I thought the Owl House should have won. As caravanners, the mobile "tea room" appealed to us.

The man who was given the Life Achievement Award had some wonderful sheds, such a pleasure to look at them. He could be given a programme all to himself.

If OH didn't have a list of jobs around the house, I think he would be dreaming up a refurb on our very conventional summerhouse! He has already made one or two modifications - replaced half of one side wall with small paned windows ( a beast to clean cobwebs from), extended the side balustrade round to the front, and made a much more attractive fascia board for the roof.

I loved the winner but would have been just as chuffed if the owl house had won. I thought the shed made from destroyed beach huts was amazing - so quirky! One category winner that flummoxed me was the 'mountain' hut - I couldn't pick between 3 of the 4 contenders then the one that I wasn't keen on won
